dear all,

the purpose i create this topic is to let everyone be alert and aware when you want to do your exhaust at any wai heng outlet,today i drive one of my parents car to wai heng at kota damansara to change the manifold only to 4-1 type,is a proton saga fl,new car just on the road about 1 month + only.so when i drive in,this guy fix it for me,at first when he was unscrewing the manifold nut,he accidentally drop 1 nut at the engine,i'm not sure if he picked it up or not,anyway i didnt bother much also,then he proceed to fix the manifold,i was there all the time,the car also did not move at all,then when everything is done,i paid and start my car,it was raining outside also at that time also.Then when i start the car,i heard some sound like a nut drop down,then i didnt bother,when i on the aircond,i heard a sound like a bullet shooting,then the guy at the workshop told me to stop the car,i got down,my radiator pecah already,water was leaking fast down at the floor,upon checking,we found the cause of the problem,there was a hole behind the radiator,and so that's the time when i start to ask him,so how?u have to pay me a new radiator because my car is new and impossible is my own fault,when i drive the car all the way i on my aircond also no problem,reach your workshop also no leaking,after u do the manifold then this problem got already.

the way they handle problem really not professional at all,guess what he tell me?he says maybe is the stone kena the radiator?i was like,wtf,bro come on,if stone kena it should be in front,not from behind rite?i keep telling him is the nut cucuk until the radiator got 1 lubang already,he insist is not his fault and said if u can find the nut or any scratches at the fan or have mark then i will pay,he act like a gangster towards me also,so he tell me he cannot pay for a new one because he not puas hati to pay,not his fault,he say either he ask his foreman to seal it back or he get me a 2nd hand radiator.If any of you is on my shoe,what do you think?will u accept this offer?i mean your car is only 1 month old,not even your fault,is his fault and u have to bear with it?after a while i call 1 of my friend come,he is a foreman too and upon checking by ourselves,we find out that there were actually scratches mark on the fan at the side,confirm is something hit the fan then hit the radiator,just we still couldnt find the nut,the guy tell me to leave my car there then 2moro they sent someone to fix it,but i did not want to,why?because if i leave my car there,the next day when he and his foreman check and found the nut cucuk at the radiator or drop somewhere at the engine bay,they will hide it and pretend nothing ever happen and just replace me with a old radiator.

So never ever send your car to all this wai heng shop,they really not professional at all and because they do wrong,they have to pay with own wallet they will twist and turn until no need to pay so much,if i know such thing will happen today,i rather go and do at other shop more professional and pay more a bit.He can someone say i frame him say is his fault,say the nut,even u yourself also not sure whether is the nut or not,he said,i was like the hole at the radiator is same like a size of a nut,because the new radiator will cost him few hundred,whereas seal back cost rm 100 + or 2nd hand also still cheaper so sure he will keep twisting it,really unlucky today.

What are you talking about?

he might becomes a " water fish "

not water fish lor,is his fault,he have to pay for it no matter how,2moro me and my father is going to the workshop and follow them when the tow the car to the foreman workshop,no matter how we are going to quarell with him until he pay for it.if u are on my shoe,u will not say this word he is waterfish liao,am i rite?i bet u will screw him and taruk him until maybe fight,why?simply because he cause you have no car to drive for half a day 2moro and make u have to take 1 day leave.

Update what happen again tomorrow ok?

sure,i will,i here just to warn and let u all know abt what happen so that others will be careful when selecting workshop to install anything,for your info the other 2 malay guy was also there,quite fren with him,they drove a myvi there,when they saw what happened,they totally silent and dunno what else to say but maybe perhaps quite worried with their car too cost was handled by them,if u say this is nasib,my luck no good,okay,i admit,but this 1 is 101 % confirm is when he open the nut,he dropped it somewhere,this is human mistake and not professional way of doing things,then some more talk like a gangster back,is this the way to do business?screw them man,no next time for me anymore for this bah lia workshop.

Erm..maybe tomorrow i'll come down and ask him. I always go to this shop, no issue at all. change my muffler few times.
Last time got issue with a stupid red EG. Now u pulak

bro,i am also his customer b4 lar,one of my fren introduce him to me 1,my proton persona also 1st time go to his shop do,no problem,i am not saying he is not nice,he's nice,i'm ok with it,barang murah,takpe,i faham,u pay this much,u get this much,but dun tell me i pay this much,to the extend until radiator pecah?when problem arise,huh,this is the time when the pistol point at each other,u say me i say u,no point,rite?the way he handle things,not pro at all,he just cincai hope can settle so that he no need pay new 1,just because he worry for his wallet,u get it?anyone also sure piss off what,new car like this happen,2moro i am going there to the workshop,after they dismantle the radiator,and if can find the nut cucuk very deep inside the radiator,i make sure he eat the whole nut,coz he was saying so big ma,impossible is the nut,not the nut 1,like trying to push the problem back to me,is this the way bro?u fikirlar sendiri.

actually already heard a few bad comment of the above shop from forum...no matter how, workmanship is important..

same goes to brothers 1,this kedai all cannot go 1 lar,do things separuh air only,when problem come out,want to speak to the manager or boss becar also tak ada,so buy or purchase at your own risk bros.

i feel sorry for you TS..

btw, changing to aftermarket extractor will void the warranty of your car rite?

Erm in fact I took my friends' Swift to Sunway branch to fix exhaust tip. I took a pic of them lifting up the car just for the sake of it. When done, I noticed a scratch on the back bumper (very obvious cos it's a white car). Initially I thought couldn't be they scratch it cos common sense they didn't touch the bumper when fix exhaust. When I look back at the pic I took earlier, found out totally no scratch at all. A bit pissed but they can't do anything so the scratch is there. Sigh..

wai heng sucks la.. try everco sunway, more expensive but problem free..easy..

I also kena last month... Next time i will warn them if they place any nut in the engine compartment... $%^&* Sealed back and service the radiator cost me RM120 afterwards.

Happened in a accessories shop. And yeah, i was like you noticed they dropped a nut/screw when disassembling my headlamp..

I didn't notice my radiator until there's a loud knock from the engine compartment and the radiator coolant smell starting to leak... there goes my radiator $%^&*(^&*(

I'm not trying to defame anything or anyone. The thing is, I wouldn't want to part with my hard-earned money with a trip down to Wai Heng. No way.
I'd rather go to Drex

Drex not doing the welding job. Hope u know that.

Added on April 10, 2011, 7:31 pmIf u're saying that his fren doing a nice job, i'll say it is not.
My rear skirt burnt coz he pull my piping and the muffler touch the skirt. But no complain. No big deal.
But still, TS case is a big issue

Imo, its happen due to the mechanic/foremen bad habit of placing the nuts on any flat surface of the engine and when the lift the car up, these nuts can move/drop.

Well to be fair, I didn't read TS' statement and I didn't know that he went there for welding job.
I was more like telling TS my position that I am not going to Wai Heng for anything, be it exhaust or welding.
Some for those Wai Yip. Of course I was under the impression that TS went there to do some exhaust-related stuff, so I'm saying that if I were to do my exhaust, I'd rather go Drex's or maybe Speedworks
Sorry yeah

That aside, I don't have confidence with those chinese ah bengs (the one I saw near my place) to do anything

We just wait for the tomorrow to see what the result.

I still think jaafar is the best in terms of workmanship n welding......they take their time but they do it right.....just my POV feel free to disagree
